It begins with "This letter is to inform you that you have been qualified for jury duty". (That is an interesting way to put it.) There is some blah, blah, blah of when and where then it ends with "Please bring the upper section of your summons and this letter when reporting". So I'm qualified to be summoned. Hmmmm

I have been a registered voter for 30 years and this is the first time I've had jury duty. Talk about stepping out of the box, this will be something different for me. Part of me is excited and a big part is dreading it. I could have gotten out of it, I am a essential employee" in a hospital. I maybe should have gotten out of it, I am going to have to call on my colleagues to cover for me but I want to do it.

I'll probably get disqualified right off the bat anyway. I have strong opinions, I am educated. I've heard these are not "good things".

Well, it is out of my hands now. Update 4/2/01 (my first day).
